Halloween DIY Witch Hat Decor - Buttons Galore

 





 Halloween  Witch Hat Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

 I love creating holiday home decor to freshen up the house at Halloween. 

My piece today is a wooden witches hat decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.  

What are Half Pearlz?  They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls.  The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.



After painting the hat with black acrylic paint, it looked a bit flat when it dried so I added texture with a  bubble stencil and gloss gel medium (Ranger Ink - Multi Medium - Gloss which dries glossy - and    The Crafter's Workshop - Random Bubbles stencil ).

The gel medium is a great adhesive gel also so I added the Buttons Galore Half Pearlz to the hat while the gel was still wet. It's a great permanent bonding medium. Glue woks fine as well, but the gel medium was easy and convenient.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore.  In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some  3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316 and the 3D Buttons - Bats.




 The wood witch hat is from Foundations decor.

Halloween Spooky Coffin Shaker Card - Buttons Galore

 



Spooky Halloween Coffin Shaker Card - Featuring Buttons Galore's Sprinkletz

 It's time to start those spooky fun cards for fall and Halloween.  

I adore fun sweet Halloween cards but went with spooky for my first Halloween card of the season to feature a cool new Sprinkletz shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.  

What are Sprinkletz?  They are small, flat polymer clay embellishments perfect for filling shakers and excellent for adhering to projects because they are flat.  Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Sprinkletz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Sprinkletz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More- Sprinkletz  Ghouls NK184 - which include Ghosts, mummies, vampires and more to add a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.


This card also features Creative Embellishments chipboard shaker coffin which I gussied up with paint,  cool shaker material and cheese cloth for an added spooky effect.   

I painted the chipboard black and gently accented the top of the chipboard with silver ink ( or silver embossing powered would be effective as well). 


The card also has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore.  In addition to the Sprinkletz, I dotted the card with iridescent Jewelz from Buttons Galore and added 3D buttons.  

Jewelz are iridescent gems with a flat side for adhering to projects.  The flat side also makes them great for adding to shakers.  Click on the links to see all the Jewelz and Jewelz Mixes for festive combos.

DIY Halloween Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern Home Decor - Buttons Galore

 



 Halloween Pumpkin Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

 It's almost time to decorate the home with Halloween fun.  Why not create something new to freshen up your holiday collection? 

My piece today is a wooden jack-o-lantern decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.  

What are Half Pearlz?  They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls.  The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.


I painted the jack-o-lantern wood figure and twisted green wire to create vine tendrils.  After the paint is dry, I'll wrap the vines around the wood stem to secure in place. 





The Buttons Galore Half Pearlz are super easy to glue to surfaces however when I'm creating home decor, I prefer to adhere embellishments with a clear matte gel medium like The Crafter's Workshop - Gel Medium - Matte .   It's easy to use and is a permanent bonding medium - unlike hot glue which loses it's bond over time.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore.  In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some  3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316.  



 The wood pumpkin jack-o-lantern is from Foundations decor.
